Buck Knives date back over 100 years and is credited with inventing the "folding hunting knife." They just about revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the model 110 Folding Knife. This knife became so popular that the term "buck knife" has become synonymous with folding knives including those made by other manufacturers. The early knives were hand made and more expensive, but eventually the company started making knives through large scale manufacturing. It is just my opinion, but I believe Buck Knives are best known for their pocket knives. You could certainly argue that Case Knives or the Swiss Army Knife are better known for their pocket knives, but in the end they are all quality knife manufacturers.
I have always carried a pocket knife made by Buck Knives for just about as long as I can remember. I actually never gave it much thought because all the kids where I came from carried a knife. Mostly Buck Knives, some Case Knives and everybody always had a Swiss Army Knife. And we weren't carrying our pocket knives for protection. We lived along the Delaware River and that was our playground. So fishing and hunting was a natural part of growing up for us. Being on the river growing up was a good place just to explore. We could fish as much as we wanted and rabbit hunting was something we did everyday when school was over for the summer break.
We also did some camping as well. I don't think I have ever enjoyed a baked potato as much as the ones we would wrap in foil and throw in the fire. Most of the time we threw back any fish we took out the Delaware for fear by eating any of them might cause us to glow in the dark. Just kidding! It really wasn't all that bad. Every now and then we would take a few "keepers," such as catfish, and either fillet them or after gutting and cleaning them, just put them in a pan over the fire. "Good eatin"
All of this fun took the proper knives. Relying on Buck Knives for all these adventures really helped. They have dedicated themselves to craftsmanship, quality and without cutting corners. I always liked to have a pocket knife. Usually one that was a multi-purpose type. Some of the more unique multi-purpose pocket knives are made by world famous Swiss Army Knives. Either way I would never come up empty handy or under prepared when it came to having the right knife. And I think that the "amazing Buck Knife" really comes through with keeping you prepared.
